Fantastic place if you want privacy; the convenience of utilities and your own place; an amazing view; good value for money; and fairly good location. I will certainly stay there again on a future trip as I think, taking all factors into account, it would be impossible to get better value for...

Booked the apartment for Y270 a night, but were charged Y350. We were told that we got a bigger room... Fantastic view to the skyline of Pundong. Might be gonne soon however, there is a large construction site in between.

A great place to stay. The staff was very helpful and made our two night stay in Shanghai much easier. It's a step up from your typical hostel... A bit more expensive, but worth every bit because of the location and comfort when you are not out touring the city.

It was a very nice place with a lot of character. It is in walking distance of the best places to go in Shanghai and the staff is really nice. The owner has a very cool dog but I think he makes the floor smell really bad.

The place had a film of dust over everything but all in all it felt really luxurious. Washing machines was really convenient to have and the view was spectacular.close

Nice appartment, even including a washing machine an wireless internet if you bring your laptop. Only minus: NO twin rooms, only doubles. Nevertheless I would definitely recommend!

Although the corridor smelt a little odd, the room was great, and had an amazing view over the Bund and the river. There are no subway stations nearby, but cabs are super cheap, and since the apartment is in the same building as a hotel, it is easy to tell drivers how to get back to the...

For it's price, you cannot beat this place. Just a small room but everything you need. The view is fantastic, you can see all of the city and you can use the rooftop bar on the 26th floor of the hotel next door - perfect for watching the sun go down!! Ten minute walk and you are at the bund.... more For it's price, you cannot beat this place. Just a small room but everything you need.

Ten minute walk and you are at the bund. Not very close to the metro but taxis were easy to find if you don't want to walk. We will definately stay here again.close

Big room with views, hard bed, strange couch. Cleaning basic & once a week. Caretaker hard to contact for problems, he is often out. Close to town, but not Metro, so need taxis or walk. kitchen and w. machine, but no utensils etc. internet was told is for free, but needs laptop.

Close to town, but not Metro, so need taxis or walk. kitchen and w. machine, but no utensils etc. internet was told is for free, but needs laptop. Place is ok, but would check first for location closer to Metro, with more services and more useful items in room. Maybe try the Hotel in the building which is $100 - still low end for location, it had gym, pool etc.close

Frank Hu was SO helpful and even let me borrow an extra phone charger and use his internet every other day. The room was a great size and had everything we needed, well-stocked. Big step up from a hostel for cheap, would recommend it.

If you've never been to China you should be aware of that the standard in general is lower than the rest of the world. I would therefor recommend you to spend some extra money when picking hotel. This place didn't really meet my expectations and I am sorry to say that I wouldn't stay there again.... more If you've never been to China you should be aware of that the standard in general is lower than the rest of the world.

However, the hotel was just next to the Bund, so the location was ok, but still you need to take a cab almost everywhere.close

The place was fantastic, but I have to say that if you are looking for a traditional hostel, this is not the place. It's more for people who want their privacy.

It's more for people who want their privacy. Also, it doesn't have any helpful information on things to do or places to go around Shanghai. It's really just an apartment that you can rent out for the weekend or something like that. Overall though, I loved it and believe that I wil stay there again when I return.close
